After dealing with the old lady, he walked step by step towards the unconscious Bai Lu, swung the knife again, and cut off Bai Lu's other arm.

"Ah!!" Bai Lu was awakened by the pain. Seeing Qi Zhen, who looked like a devil in front of her, she shook her head desperately and backed away.

"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!"

Qi Zhen approached slowly, a cloud covering his face and a mocking smile on his lips.

"Of course I am not dirty, it is this fickle woman who is dirty! How dare you touch me with your dirty hands!"

Bai Lu retreated backwards until she reached the corner of the wall, with no way to retreat.

"Since you like to run to the cold palace so much, then you can live here." As she spoke, her eyes fell on Bai Lu's legs, "Without these legs, you won't run away."

Bai Lu felt her brain explode with a bang, "No, no! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!! I still have many ideas! I will help you to rule the world, you can't do this to me!"

Qi Zhen curled his lips: "If I keep you, there will be one more person in this world who knows my secret. But you have helped me a lot, so I will still keep you alive."

"Your hands were abolished because you hugged me without permission. Your legs were abolished because you came to a place you shouldn't have been. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments."

After saying that, he raised the knife in front of Bai Lu's horrified gaze.

“No no!! Ah!!!”

A scream, accompanied by lightning and thunder outside the window, was particularly creepy in the night.

"Kill me! Kill me!" Bai Lu lay on the ground with her back facing up, without her limbs, like a monster.

She would rather die than become a human pig!

But she couldn't die, and even if she fainted she would be awakened by the pain.

Qi Zhen had no intention of letting him go.

He squatted down, admiring his masterpiece with a gentle smile on his face, "I can't write without my hands, but you can still speak, so my secret can't be kept."

Bai Lu screamed, "What are you doing! What are you doing! Qi Zhen, kill me! Kill me! I beg you, kill me!"

Qi Zhen shook his head, his voice extremely gentle, "How can I bear to kill you? Didn't you say you would stay with me forever? Be good, bear with it for a while, it will be fine soon."

As he said this he reached out and pinched her chin.

Bai Lu knew what he was going to do and immediately struggled desperately.

"Qi Zhen, you monster! You bastard! You will not die well! You killed your father and mother, you will not die well...Ah!!"

A bloody tongue flew out.

Qi Zhen smiled and stood up: "It's much quieter now."

He shouted, "Bring in an urn!"

Soon, the guards outside the door came in carrying a urn half a person's height.

Qi Zhen did not ask his men for help. He took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve pocket and sprinkled it on the wounds on Bai Lu's limbs. He then pinched her chin and poured some medicine into her mouth, and the blood slowly coagulated.

He admired her for a while, then lifted Bai Lu's long hair and put her into the jar.

"Lock these two people separately."

The guards carried the old lady out.

After finishing everything, Qi Zhen walked out. When he reached the door, he ordered, "Deal with all the palace people who served Concubine Yun personally!"

"Yes!"

Bai Lu in the house had her face covered in blood and tears, and could only let out "ah ah" sounds.

This night is so long.

She is now unable to live or die.

In the past, she naively thought that she was different in Qi Zhen’s heart.

Now, she deeply realized that Qi Zhen was a monster! He loved blood and liked to make people live a life worse than death.

Why did she choose such a monster!

Bai Lu regretted her decision deeply, blaming herself for being too greedy.

She could obviously hide in the harem and be an invisible person, but she relied on her own cleverness and wanted to climb to a high position.

Her previous life was so smooth, why did she end up like this in this life!

Cheng Yunge's voice kept ringing in my mind.

"Why is it like this! Why is it like this! Bailu, you bitch! Aren't you very powerful? You made me become like this!"

Bai Lu shed tears silently, she didn't know why it turned out like this.

She was born in a peaceful and enlightened country where everyone is equal, but she sold her soul for money.

She came here, was dominated by the system, and finally abandoned by the system.

Cheng Yunge cursed Bai Lu with all kinds of vicious words. After cursing Bai Lu enough, he started to curse Qi Zhen and Cheng Jiuyuan...

"Cheng Yunge, why do you want to compete with Cheng Jiuyuan?"

If she didn't want to compete with Cheng Jiuyuan, the chosen girl, she wouldn't have come here.

"Why? How could she be born as a legitimate daughter? I was clearly the legitimate daughter of the prime minister when I was born! It was her mother who suddenly appeared, and my aunt was demoted from wife to concubine. She took my place as a legitimate daughter!"

"Why is she always better than me? I want to make her suffer a fate worse than death!"

"You said you would help me. That's why I gave my body to you! What about you? Now you've turned me into a human pig!!!"

"Then take your body back."

"Don't even think about it!"

Now that she had her body back, she could do nothing but endure the excruciating pain.

The room was dark and damp.

Only a head was exposed outside the huge jar, with blood all over its face. Its eyes would occasionally move, which was particularly creepy.

In the body in the jar, two souls kept cursing each other...

Qi Zhen returned to the bedroom and bathed several times. When he came out, he heard the guard report that Concubine Yun's personal maid Cui Luo was missing.

"Find it for me!"

This maidservant is a big problem. She is Cheng Yunge's confidant, but she was able to escape in advance. She must know something about the inside story.

The fact that he is not the late emperor’s biological son must never be spread!

However, one day, two days... half a month passed, and the maid seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, with no news at all.

The battlefield at the front was also in a stalemate, and the stalemate lasted until the end of the year.

If we continue to waste time like this, no matter how much food and grass we have, it won't be enough.

Qi Zhen was anxious in his heart. He really underestimated Dong Ling.

It is said that the Jingsai Army, which had disappeared for more than ten years, suddenly appeared, and together with the Xuanjia Army, the Northern Qi Dynasty was unable to conquer the city for a long time.

Qi Zhen threw the military report and angrily said, "The Black Armor Army? Aren't the Black Armor Army just a bunch of show?"

"Your Majesty, when the Black Armor Army was in Wei Tiankuang's hands, they were just pretending to be with us. But things are different now. I didn't expect that in just over a year, the Black Armor Army has been reborn and has become very powerful."

Qi Zhen frowned: "The new commander of the Black Armor Army is called, called..."

"Jiang Xiubai!"

"Yes, let's try the same method we used to bribe Wei Tiankuang."

"Our people tried it, but it didn't work."

Qi Zhen slammed the table, his chest heaving up and down.

"Your Highness, we in Northern Qi cannot chew the bone of Dongling alone, but we can find help." A minister suggested.

Qi Zhen thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense.

"I will write a letter to Bei Lin right now."

"Beilin is indeed the best choice. It is the former queen's native country."

When the late queen was mentioned, no one noticed the flash of disgust in Qi Zhen's eyes.

The current monarch of Beilin is his maternal grandfather, and the person who really holds power is the crown prince Qin Qiuming, so he has to call Qin Qiuming uncle.

Qin Qiuming had come to Northern Qi before when his mother was still alive, but he has not been here since his mother passed away.

As long as he promises benefits, there is no doubt that Qin Qiuming will be tempted.

Not long after, Qi Zhen received a reply from Bei Lin.

Qin Qiu Ming was indeed an ambitious man, but he was also extremely cautious. He replied that he would come to Northern Qi in person to discuss the matter with him soon.

Qi Zhen curled his lips and called his confidants to discuss how to form an alliance with Bei Lin.

Chu Heng soon received the news that Crown Prince Beilin was going on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi.

At night, the couple played chess in front of the window.

"If Beiqi forms an alliance with Beilin, it might be a bit troublesome." Cheng Jiuyuan put down a piece and spoke slowly.

"If Qi Zhen is a vicious wolf, then Qin Qiuming is a fierce tiger. He is indeed a bit tricky. But this alliance is not that easy to make."

"Both of these two are ambitious people. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. We can start from this point." Cheng Jiuyuan said.

Chu Heng praised: "Yuan'er is indeed very smart. Although Qi Zhen and Qin Qiuming are uncle and nephew, family affection is not enough in the face of national interests. Beilin is still north of Beiqi. There is Beiqi between Beilin and Dongling. This is a big problem."

Cheng Jiuyuan felt relieved: "Qin Qiuming is not a fool. He will not allow another ambitious wolf to become stronger."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Even if we want to form an alliance, it will be several months later. The New Year is coming soon. Yuan'er, do you want to go to Gusu to celebrate the New Year?"

"nature."

"Well, let's go to Gusu."

"Then your government affairs..."

"With Prime Minister Pei here, there will be no problem."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and smiled, "Doesn't that mean my cousin can't go back to Gusu?"

"He will go back after the New Year."

"Don't always bully your cousin."

"Your eldest cousin is a smart guy, who can bully him?"

Chu Heng put down the chess piece, looked out the window, walked forward, bent down, picked her up, and strode towards the bed.

"Don't feel bad for your cousin. It's late at night. Feel bad for your husband..."
